You do not have the latest version of CVS.  The problem you report was
fixed in version 1.10.0-1 of cvs, released about six weeks ago.  The old
version of cvs, which you are using, cannot create a repository on a FAT
drive. 

Also, what's up with the wacky disk structure -- the cygwin stuff should
be in the front of your path when you are running bash, or you are just
asking for trouble.  Also, don't mix & match toolkits.  The reed-kotler
programs do not understand cygwin mount points, so you can't trust
rk-which.  use the 'type' builtin command in cygwin-bash.

For best results, you should probably mount your I: drive thusly:

 mkdir /i
 mount -b I: /i

then, use this command (after having installed the new cvs)

 cvs -d :local:/i/data/version-control/cvsroot init

(Actually, I do this:

 export CVSROOT=/i/data/version-control/cvsroot
 cvs init

I don't think you really need to specify ":local:"
)
